Introduction to SIGGRAPH and computer graphics

The SIGGRAPH conference is an exciting event, but it is often an intimidating experience for first-time attendees. There are so many new terms, new concepts, and new products to try to understand. It is like standing in a room with 100 doors and having no idea which door to open because you have no idea what the label on each door actually means. This leaves new attendees baffled and frustrated about how to spend their time. This course is designed to ease newcomers into the SIGGRAPH conference experience by presenting the fundamental concepts and vocabulary at a level that can be readily understood. Far from being made up of dry facts, this course will also portray the fun and excitement that led most of us here in the first place. Attendees in the course will become well-prepared to understand, appreciate, enjoy, network, and learn from the rest of the SIGGRAPH experience.
